Kim earlier stepped into the southern side of a border truce village of Panmunjom to become the first North Korean leader to set foot in the South since the 1950-53 Korean War. AP
Kim and Moon inspected an honour guard after Kim crossed the border into South Korea for their historic face-to-face talks, in Panmunjom. AP
Kim, and Moon planted a pine tree near the military demarcation line at the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarised Zone. The pine tree dates to 1953, the year the Korean War ended in an armistice. The soil and water were brought from the Koreas' mountains and rivers. AP
The leaders then talked while walking unaccompanied on a nearby bridge in Panmunjom. A joint statement issued after the talks said the two nations confirmed their goal of achieving "a nuclear-free Korean peninsula through complete denuclearisation." AP
Alongside, South Koreans and Buddhist monks prayed during a service to support the summit between Kim and Moon. The two Koreas have agreed for South Korea's president to visit Pyongyang sometime this autumn. AP
